SuperHandy Passport Pro Mobility Scooter - Foldable Aluminum Frame, 4 Wheels, Includes 2 48V 2Ah Li-Ion Batteries & Charger, Supports up to 330 Lbs [Patent Pending] (Dark Green & Sand, 330 Lbs)

This scooter is a great deal and easy on pocketbook. It weighs 47lbs and can be handled by one person. I swapped the seat for a large bicycle seat which reduced the weight further. I removed the running boards as well as they impeded putting my feet down on the ground (used a grinder to cut the metal bar on right side but saved left metal bar to use as a handle). The rear-end wheels are noticeably wider that most handicapped scooters, so care must be take when making sharp turns. I would recommend this for someone who can stand and lift5 45lbs.

I bought this scooter because of my bad back. I can't walk great distances anymore, nor can I lift heavy weights. I needed something to get me around, but I live alone, so it had to be light and portable so I could get it into my vehicle without assistance.This product does all of that. However, there are a lot of inconveniences I was not aware of before I bought it. In addition to being light, it is also small, which means adjustments have to be made every time I sit on it. The handlebars are short, so I have to bend over slightly to use it.It has good speed and pickup, which is a blessing. It won't break any speed records, but it will quickly outdistance those clunky scooters you find at the local supermarket. Unlike many scooters with which the motor will stop you when you release the accelerator, this one does not. It has a hand brake for this purpose, which takes a bit of getting used to. The hand brake also has a parking brake setting so it won't roll away from you when you dismount while on a hill.The turning radius is terrible--roughly 12 feet--which makes it impossible to drive around tight corners without going backward and forward multiple times, or sometimes dismounting and physically reorienting the entire scooter to the new direction. At home I have to wheel it out my front door and point it down the hallway in the right direction because the hall is too narrow to turn the corner. I have to do the same when getting it into the elevator. It is a good thing it is so light, so this is just an inconvenience rather than a reason to return it.There is no way to secure it if I have to run into a small store or a restroom and have to leave it outside. All of the scooters I have seen before have a key or other way to disable the battery power, making it more difficult to steal if one wanted to do so. (Yes, there are depraved people in this world who would do that.) The only way to disable it would be to physically remove the battery from its compartment and carry it in with me. This requires bending over or kneeling, which are things I don't do easily anymore. Thankfully, the batteries are light and easy to remove and replace.Which brings me to the last inconvenience, which is that you must remove the battery from the scooter to plug it in and recharge it. There is no way to plug in the scooter itself to charge its battery. It does, however, have one bonus: a spare battery that stores under the seat so you can swap them if the first battery runs out of power. I haven't taken it on any long journeys yet, so I don't know how far it will go on one charge. However, I have ordered a pair of long-range cells that each hold double the power, so range anxiety shouldn't be a problem.So ... there are difficulties, but it does what it needs to do for me, so I'll keep it. The price tag was less than half what I would pay for a full scooter three times its weight, so I should expect difficulties like this.

This is a durable scooter that allows me to go places again. It's smaller than most store scooters so things like the clothes sections are no longer impossible to navigate. It does have a wide turn so you do have to back up and go forward a couple times here and there. Also on steep hills or certain kinds of gravel it will struggle at times, it handles grass and dirt easily and the charge lasts nearly a whole day split between batteries and if I bring my charger to places I stop it definitely lasts a whole day. This scooter allowed me to enjoy my anniversary and explore san antonio something I thought was no long a possibility for me with my chronic back pain.

SuperHandy Passport Pro Mobility Scooter - Foldable Aluminum Frame, 4 Wheels, Includes 2 48V 2Ah Li-Ion Batteries & Charger, Supports up to 330 Lbs [Patent Pending] (Dark Green & Sand, 330 Lbs)i was so excited when i saw this in my queue. but just poor choices at every step. comes in a big box. so be prepared for that. first, issue and kind of a deal breaker was the seat to post assembly. the seat is a blow molded or injection type plastic. the seat post that it attaches to is a metal post with a plate. there are nuts embedded in the plastic, but not really, just seated in the plastic of the seat itself. there are some bolts that should allow you to attach the seat post to the seat. however, the threads for the bolts and the threads for the nuts were different. best guess is the bolts were m8-1.25 and the nuts were m8-1.00. what happens when you try to attach these fasteners with different thread is they sieze onto one another. but do not actually tighten the overall joint. when this happens in plastic the plastic hole deforms and the nut spins freely while siezed onto the bolt. ask me how i know. anyway, i was able to solve the problem but assembly was in my workshop which is for metal fabrication. if you do not have a metal fabrication shop to assemble in and end up with the same problem the seat will never properly attach to the post. this is a major problem. scooters are designed and meant for people with mobility issues, usually but not always older folks. many of whom are retired and no longer maintain garages and workbenches. many of whom do not have metric taps. anyway, it is a simple fix. quality control. put properly mated fasteners in the box. period. one bad bolt and it is basically trash. just poorly designed and bad qc.okay moving on to other fairly substantial issues. first there is a pretty significant parasitic drain on the battery if left in the unit. so leave it unattended for a week or two maybe even a few days and the battery is empty. the compartment the battery goes in is near the ground, not awesome for folks with old body parts. the battery slides in ackwardly, instinct is to place it on the plate at the bottom and push in, but that doesnt work, you actually have to raise the battery 1/2" off the bottom of the compartment to slot into the port properly. this is dumb. this is dumb for a person with all their faculties, nevermind old brain parts. this should be at least seat high and go in without issue. also, does not seem to have alot of power--and the power seems to drain quick. maybe less substantial humans like sub 150lb wont have this problem but a friend and myself tested this 270# and 325# and we found it stalling on very slight inclines, like it would be impossible to go up a ramp that replaces stairs in any sort of commercial establishment. maybe if it can only do inclines with a 150# person, it should not state a rating of 330#. just saying. and as for driving. egad, the turning radius is garbage. it turns like a tractor trailer. you need to do an 8 point turn to navigate a hallway. that was surprising and dumb. i dont know why you would make a scooter that was so difficult to use. and finally on the difficult to use score there is the accelerator. it is nothing like any scooter we have used before. not like a wally world not like our older scooter. so they have a potentiometer or dial to set a speed then a handle gas pedal. so no matter how hard you sqeeze the accelerator the speed is fixed. this scooter lacks this dial. so all the speed control is in the pressure of the squeezing. and the squeezing is not a handle parrallel to the grip or handle bar is is controlled with your thumb. i have all my wits and i found this to be unneccessarily complex. i had a family member with some deteriorating mental capacity try it and they struggled. this is not for someone with even the slightest levels of dementia. it is too complicated to operate. in fact, while going down a very slight incline he put his feet out to brake because the brake is independent of everything else. the right hand err, the right thumb controls the accelerator, the left hand is supposed to manage the braking process. this is so counter-intuitive. it should be that when you release the accelrator there should be an electric brake to slow you down. its an extra step or complication that makes no sense.i am not sure what the goal was here, but for anyone with even slight cognitive impairment this is a too complicated at best and even dangerous at worst. i cannot in good conscience recommend this disaster.
